Water Transport And Physical Properties Of Sugarcane Bagasse Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic Potato Starch Biocomposite

Nowadays, development of bio composites from renewable resources has become great interest as the alternative to replace petroleum-based polymer. Starch is one of the examples of bio polymer that are biodegradable. However, there is limitation on starch usage where starch based polymer has poor mech...
